Laboratory Sodium Lamp Supply Unit

Product Code : SCL-EAE-11324

The Laboratory Sodium Lamp Supply Unit is a dedicated electrical control unit used to operate a compatible sodium vapour lamp for optics and spectroscopy experiments. It is intended for physics teachers, students, laboratory technicians, and institutional buyers who need a practical way to add a sodium light source to an experimental setup.

Product Description

This laboratory sodium lamp supply unit provides the electrical interface needed to start and run a compatible sodium discharge lamp. With the correct lamp, it supports a characteristic yellow light source for wave-optics and spectral demonstrations. Lamp wattage, base type, input voltage, output rating, and connectors must match the final datasheet.

The unit is suited to laboratories using physics lab equipment for structured practical work. Housing material, protection devices, controls, ventilation, and duty cycle were not available for verification and should be confirmed before publication or tender submission.

Key Features

• Dedicated operation: Designed for a compatible laboratory sodium vapour lamp.
• Optics-lab value: Supports experiments requiring a narrow yellow spectral source.
• Flexible integration: Works with suitable spectrometers, diffraction apparatus, and interference setups.
• Compatibility control: Lamp wattage, base, and electrical ratings must be checked before use.
• Teaching use: Suitable for supervised demonstrations and student practical sessions.
• Safe workflow: Connections are made only while isolated from the mains supply.
• Category fit: Complements other light and optics equipment .

How to Use the Laboratory Sodium Lamp Supply Unit

1. Confirm the input voltage, lamp wattage, lamp base, and connection method on the nameplate.
2. Place the unit on a dry, stable, ventilated bench.
3. Keep it switched off and disconnected while fitting the compatible lamp.
4. Connect the lamp and power lead as stated in the model instructions.
5. Energize the unit and allow the lamp output to stabilize.
6. Align the source with the optical apparatus without touching hot surfaces.
7. After use, switch off, disconnect, and allow the assembly to cool.

Safety note: Use only under trained supervision. Do not operate with damaged leads, exposed terminals, blocked ventilation, an incompatible lamp, or a wet work surface.

Care & Maintenance

• Disconnect before cleaning; wipe external surfaces with a dry, lint-free cloth.
• Keep ventilation openings clear during operation.
• Store in a dry cabinet after cooling, with leads loosely coiled.
• Inspect the cable, plug, socket, and lamp holder before each session.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a laboratory sodium lamp supply unit do?

It provides the electrical operating conditions required by a compatible sodium vapour lamp. Exact starting and running characteristics depend on the lamp and supply-unit ratings.

Is the sodium lamp included?

The inclusion status is not verified. Confirm whether the quotation covers the supply unit only or a complete lamp-and-supply assembly.

What lamp wattage can this unit operate?

The compatible wattage is [confirm]. Never connect a lamp until its wattage, base, and electrical requirements match the unit nameplate.

Can it be used for Newton's rings experiments?

Yes, when paired with a compatible sodium lamp and correctly aligned apparatus, it can provide the required yellow light source.

Does a sodium lamp produce 589 nm light?

Sodium discharge lamps have prominent yellow emission lines near 589 nm. The observed spectrum depends on lamp type and operating conditions.

Is it suitable for school or college laboratories?

It is suitable for supervised physics practicals with compatible apparatus, the correct electrical supply, and trained staff. Confirm model-specific safety provisions before ordering.
